Be A Pro should be a real hockey RPG, not just a mode with menus

Dear EA NHL Dev Team

I bought a PlayStation 5 specifically to play NHL 25 and experience Be A Pro as it was advertised. I love hockey. Like many fans, I grew up dreaming about playing in the NHL. Be A Pro should be the mode that brings that dream to life. Right now, it barely scratches the surface.

What is missing is everything that makes a real career exciting. There are no sponsorships, no managers, no training systems that feel dynamic. There is no real interaction with coaches or teammates, no contract negotiations, no pressure from fans or media. It is just menus, upgrades, and simulation.

Be A Pro should be more than that. It should feel like an actual hockey RPG. Give us the choice to pick our manager or agent. Let us sign sponsor deals and get rewarded for personal achievements like hat tricks or playoff success. Let us interact with coaches, demand more ice time, deal with injuries, or even make off-ice decisions that affect our career.

Add meaningful dialogues. Let us choose a personality type that actually influences how we are treated by media and teammates. Let chemistry matter. Let a trade request mean something. Make training feel like it shapes the player, not just a button press.

If this was ever released on PC, with mod support, the community would take this mode to another level. But even on console, this should be the flagship experience of the game. NHL is the dream. Be A Pro is where we are supposed to live it.

Be A Pro should not be a forgotten side mode. It should be a full journey. From juniors to the draft, to breaking out as a rookie, becoming a captain, earning awards, facing setbacks, and writing your legacy. That is what makes a sports game great.

Please give this mode the love and depth it deserves in NHL 26.

Sincerely  
A lifelong hockey fan who bought a PS5 to chase the NHL dream
